I only have one physical coin with me, which is one of these which I picked
up at lunch:

Other than that, the rest of them were virtual coins realized in BASIC/V.
It's always interesting to throw a no analysis, brute force solution at
these probability puzzles, as you'll quickly find out if your fancy analysis
is wrong because there is something subtle and unobvious about the question.

After I get a couple more of the new coins mentioned above, maybe I'll be
able to afford lunch at Taco-Bell:
